Properties: Notedit

You can edit string properties, or lists properties that are lists of strings, with the @notedit verb: @notedit object.property. For example, if you want to give the current room a description that has more than one line—i.e, that is a ‘list’ of strings—use @notedit:

@notedit here.description

The property editor works just like the mail editor, except that you use save when you’re finished, instead of send. Save saves the changes you’ve made to the property. When you’re done editing and want to exit the editor, use done. The done verb doesn’t save the changes you’ve made—that’s what save is for—but it does keep track of what you’ve done if you haven’t saved. You can return to your editing by typing @notedit without anything else.

Verbs: Edit

When you need to edit a verb, you use @edit object:verb. It’s the standard editor that you’ve used to send mail and possibly to edit properties. When you’re ready to save the changes you’ve made, type compile. You will be told if there are any ‘syntax’ problems in the verb, and what line these problems are in. Use done to leave the editor.
